Trialmaster Fight is Horribly Designed

[OmgItsPeaches]

Literally why am I even bothering man I spent all this time getting all these stupid pieces to open the door, and every time I beat the trials I am literally one shotting every single boss like they're made of paper, but I get to the Trialmaster and I get one shot. Awesome! I am a level 91 monk and I clear T16+ maps like they're nothing and I have never had trouble with literally any boss in the game ever. Now I get one shot by this bum? Come on bruh. Now I have to either go through 30 more trials in hopes that I actually get non duplicate pieces to the door, or I have to purchase all three parts for 100+ exalts. What a horrifically designed way to get the fourth ascendancy. The boss doesn't even have that much health. Like 11 mill or something. This dude is literally such a cake walk but I lose because I get one shot by this violently overtuned and horrible to get to boss that you only get one shot at. I love this game but GGG is actually tweaking if they think this is good game design like at all. Yet another thing in this game that inherently punishes me for being melee instead of a brain dead stormweaver spamming lightning everywhere and sucking my thumb

This is odd considering Trial master has some of the lowest damage of any boss in the game. If you get 1 shot by trial master, that means you get 1 shot by Xesht as well. Considering Xesht is the weakest of the pinnacle bosses and does significantly more damage than trial master; I think you might just need to invest is some defensive stats. White mobs in t16s hit about as hard as Trial masters does. Are you standing still and letting him ground smash you after the time freeze? It's really confusing to see someone complaining about the damage on a boss that hits like a wet noodle.

Edit: Also, Trial master doesn't punish melee at all. He actually has far more anti ranged mechanics. At point blank you can sidestep every attack he has except for when he stands still and slowly charges his aoe circle thing. You have like 4 full seconds to escape that though. His ground slam tendrils only track ranged enemies, the weapon throw has a very long and clear startup animation so you can just step toward a wall and bait him to throw it where it can't hurt you. I guess if you're turning your brain completely off and eating the triple element ball thing at point blank, that might kill. But that also has a slow animation and can be side stepped.

Level 91 monk 8300 es 74% evasion max resistances and he one shots me. If I don't build for armor I get one shot, but I can't just switch to armor like that. And, no, I'm not just sitting there and taking it. I was attempting to dodge his normal overhead slam with an aoe, and I was right up against him, and he turned 270 degrees in 0.2 seconds and smashed my head in with the handle of his hammer and one shot me. I don't see the skill issue there. I was literally standing against the dudes shoulder

ehhhh armor only stops physical attacks and i doubt you can stack armor to the point you can avoid boss 1 shots.

you just were in a bad spot and didn't dodgeroll at the right time.

Im sorry to say this, however what you have here may be a skill issue. the trailmaster fight is extremely easy... his attacks are very well telegraphed and he doesnt his too hard. Killed him at 91 on a gemling with 4k es. just press the spacebar.

Maybe OP can upload a video of gameplay and his stats.

None of his attacks do over 5k damage in a single hit. You're either lying or you're getting hit by multiple things. Also, the ground slam has a wind up and is telegraphed. His basic weapon attacks do under 1k, so that's definitely not how you died. Sounds like you weren't paying attention, or you stepped in his weapon throw aoe and had the increased dmg taken debuff active. Regardless, your story doesn't add up. This is a boss I've kill hundreds of times farming for adorned and even when I run 5500 ES and 200 hp, 0 armor, and 0 evasion, he cannot one shot me.

I killed Trial master hundreds times too and HE CAN ONE shot you with the slam.
I have tested hundreds of times, Usually his slam do about 5-6k damage (I have 12k ES), but he can critical !!!!. Not very often but I would say 1 of 10 times he will critical. I don't know how much critical his slam can do but it's more than 12k since he can 1-shot me (over 12k damage).
